Blessing Of The Erdtree Vs Golden Vow 소설 & 이야기

On the altar, there was a huge golden throne near the Elf Divine Tree, and Su Wei'er was sitting on it. Di Yanjing stepped forward and said loudly, "People of the Elf race, today is our annual Consecration Ceremony. Let us follow the Saintess and thank the Elf Divine Tree for sheltering us." Su Wei'er stood up with the help of the guards, wearing a suit of golden armor and a crown. Her delicate face was full of holiness. Su Wei'er knelt towards the Elf Divine Tree. Di Yanjing, the other presbyters, and all the other elves knelt on the ground. There was a fixed prayer for the Consecration Ceremony.

The officiant stepped forward, the dude looked so old, I thought he was going to die at any moment but thankfully, he didn’t and the ceremony proceeded nicely. “Today we’re all gathered here to bless this lovely couple and ask for the blessing of the moon Goddess in their union.” His voice was strong which was quite unexpected, “May you two be protected from corruption, may the forest spirits and the moon always guide you to the right path. And may you both always find peace in each other.” The couple then faced each other, clasping hands. A cord made of intertwined vines, representing their shared destinies, wrapped gently around their wrists. “You may now exchange your vows.” He said and I

“Look at this peach blossom tree. I want you to look at it closely." “What- What do you want?” “In front of this tree, I want you to make your vows with me.” “What!” said Ruby, in shock. “If you won’t make your vows of marrying me now, I will burn this tree down!” “You-You're insane,” said Ruby looking at him. “I will do it!” She shook her face free from his grasp. "I won't do it." “Then don’t blame me for my ruthlessness.” Eric summoned up his fire power.

"I Balthazar Kolgrim take you Imelda Bloodstone to be my Queen, my partner, my equal, from now until the end of time and even after." "I Balthazar Kolgrim take you Imelda Bloodstone to be my Queen, my partner, my equal, from now until the end of time and even after." He repeated, his eyes locked on mine as he declared his loyalty. "The joining of two souls has already happened before the ceremony. It has been blessed by all the gods and goddesses above. A unity of everlasting fire has been given and has now marked these two as one. Now both of you kneel before me." He instructed. Both of us turned and kneeled before him. A gold crown appeared in his hand.

I said, my voice teasing but shaky. He grinned, then leaned in, his lips brushing mine, soft and slow, like he was savoring it. I kissed him back, my hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat under my palm. It was gentle, warm, nothing like the desperate kiss on the beach last night, but just as real. When we pulled apart, he smiled, his eyes bright. “I don’t know what this is, Nita,” he said, “but it feels right.”

That means she feels it too. Murmurs and gasps rippled through the crowd as light gathered around us, coiling up our arms where they meet like yarns of liquid gold, affirming our purity and acceptance. “It is time to say your vows, speak your truth, and proclaim your loyalty to one another,” the high elder said aloud before striking his staff three times. Kiara’s voice was barely a whisper as she spoke her vow. “I give my heart, my strength, and my spirit to this bond. May it hold us through gloom and flame. I promise to stay, to love and to cherish you both, until I turn old and grey.”

The steel flashed, his blood mingling with Eric’s on the blade before he pressed their clasped hands to my chest, right over the amulet’s mark. Heat exploded under my skin as the magic took hold, silver light weaving our joined hands together like living chains. The vow settled into my bones with the weight of a mountain: No lies. No betrayal. No broken promises. When the light faded, Eric wrenched free first. "I’ll gather the warriors," he said roughly, already striding toward the tree line. Malcolm called after him, "We’ll hunt together at dusk." Eric didn’t turn. Didn’t stop. But his voice carried back, clear as a blade’s edge:

"We swear to serve our people to the end of our days. To put their needs above our own. To protect, defend, and honor those under our rule. We swear to do no harm, To use our magic only for their good, never our personal gain. And to be the strength they can always depend on through every triumph and despair." The room leapt to their feet, roaring with cheers. The vows rocketed through the palace and into the streets, on the tongue of every elf. Raegan placed new, identical crowns on Eden's head then Violet's. Two obsidian, jagged circlets. Violet carefully reached up to touch hers, letting the cool stone drive home her new reality. The cheers continued, flooding her ears.

“With this holy water, may your union be blessed. With this holy water, may your union be blessed. With this holy water, may your union be blessed.” “Blessings upon them.” The temple almost shakes with the strong voices from the crowd. The priestesses take the bowl, chrism, and aspergillum away. “Alpha King Karl Striker, does this couple have your blessing to form a union, in and for Warfang?” the High Priestess then asks Karl. Karl nods. “This union has my blessing.” “King Rafe Poe, does this union have your blessing, in and for Shadowglade?” the High Priestess asks Rafe.
